After the marriage was broken off, the husband's family regretted it

Chapter 370: The Strawberry Seedlings Are Getting Fewer and Fewer

"Don't worry, sis. I won't mention this matter again."

Taohua sat on the chair and sighed, "Do you think I don't want the three of us to reunite? But now is not the right time. When Huaihua left, I was prepared to never see her again. Besides, it's hard to say whether she is dead or alive now. After all, it's not easy for a woman to survive outside."

"Don't mention this matter again. It's all fate. Everything is fate."

Lihua looked at her elder sister and didn't say anything else. The two sisters exchanged greetings for a while and then Lihua left.

Lihua returned home feeling unhappy. Tieniu saw this and walked up to her, "My dear, why are you unhappy after visiting your elder sister? Did your elder sister say something to you?"

"Husband, it's nothing, I'm just very tired. I'll be fine after a rest."

Lihua felt very tired. How could the family live like this? Some escaped, some died, some were disabled, and few had a good end. Even the eldest sister was a woman with a child. She could only hide in Lincheng and didn't even dare to go back to her hometown.

It's all my mother's fault. She has always loved this little brother. He has been spoiled to no end and has done all kinds of sneaky things. He relies on his three sisters to clean up his mess. When he grows up, he also wants his three sisters to earn money for him.

Fortunately, my mother is no longer with us, otherwise it would be really hard to let go of this.

When Tie Niu saw that Lihua was unhappy, he didn't dare to go forward, for fear of angering Lihua. He could only stay aside and watch him quietly.

Lihua thought for a long time, and suddenly saw Tieniu beside her, "Why don't you leave? What are you doing sitting next to me?"

"Lihua, I'm really worried when I see you like this. I'm afraid something might happen to you."

"Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm just unhappy because I think of the past. I'm fine now."

"You should go to work quickly, otherwise it will be embarrassing if Uncle Wang next door fails to deliver the goods."

Tie Niu thought it made sense and looked back at Lihua every three steps.

Lihua couldn't help but smile knowingly as she looked at the honest man in front of her. Fortunately, she met Tie Niu.

Hongmei was looking at the strawberries in the greenhouse from the field, and she was increasingly puzzled as to why there were fewer and fewer of them. It was strange. No one was stealing them, and even if they did, they wouldn't steal just a few.

Hongmei returned home in a depressed mood and squatted in the yard, thinking about things.

Old Lady Yun looked at her second daughter-in-law who was in a trance and said, "Second daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you? People who don't know would think you're in a trance."

"Mom, I've been going to the field to check on the strawberries every day recently. I can see that there are fewer strawberries every day. I just can't feel it because the number is not much. But I go there every day, and there are indeed a lot fewer than before."

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could there be fewer fruits in the fields? No one has stolen them. Even if someone has stolen them, it would not have any effect if only a few were missing."

"Mom, I think so too, but it's really too little. If you don't believe me, go to the fields and take a look yourself."

Old Lady Yun didn't believe it, so she went to the fields to take a look. "It seems that there is a little less in the second son's field, but it's not noticeable. I just feel something is wrong."

"Yes, mother, look at this location. I remember there was a bag of very large strawberry seedlings here. At that time, I joked with my boss and said that the fruit produced by this strawberry seedling must be the strawberry king. I also said that I wanted to eat it. The boss also said that I could eat one, so I paid attention to this place. However, it is gone today."

"They were still there when I came here yesterday afternoon."

"It's this place, this place. There is only one pocket here now, but there were three pockets before. Mom, if you don't pay attention to these small places, you really won't care about this place. But when I paid attention, I knew that there was really less here."

"Second brother's, are you sure?"

"Mom, I'm sure, I'm sure there are really fewer here, but they're not much each time, so I didn't take it seriously before. But now the strawberry seedlings are getting fewer and fewer, and we are still counting on the fruits or seedlings to make money. If things continue like this, what will we have to sell?"

Hongmei was very anxious. If she couldn't sell the strawberries for any money, her family wouldn't get anything. Wouldn't it be all in vain? Her sister-in-law made thousands of taels of silver every day from growing strawberries. Who wouldn't be greedy for so much money?

We won’t be able to make much money when strawberries are on the market in large quantities in the future, so we have to take advantage of the fact that few people are selling now.

Old Lady Wang said quickly, "Let's go back. Your eldest brother will be back tonight. We can talk about this matter at the dinner table. There must be a thief, but we didn't pay attention to it."

When it was time for dinner, the whole family was at the table.

"Now that you are all here, I will start by telling you something. Recently, the number of strawberry seedlings in our fields has been decreasing. I suspect a thief has targeted our home. We need to think of a way to find the thief and send him to the government."

"Let the county magistrate punish him, otherwise anyone can come and steal our strawberry seedlings."

Yun Er was very surprised, "Mom, are you telling the truth?"

"Yes, Yun Er, we have to think of a solution, otherwise our strawberry seedlings will be stolen this afternoon."

Qiu Ju was trembling as she listened to this. Was she discovered? I was very careful and took very little each time, but how come I was still discovered?

Yun Da said at this time, "Mom, do you have any evidence? If you don't have any, it's best not to seek justice for now. Don't wrongly accuse others."

"I'm not sure if what I said is true. If you don't believe me, ask Hongmei."

"Brother, it's true. Every time I went to check, I felt something was wrong, but I couldn't tell what was wrong. It wasn't until today that I discovered that the strawberry seedlings I had been paying attention to were gone. I realized they were stolen. If the thief hadn't stolen those strawberries, I wouldn't have noticed it at all. I just felt it was a little strange, but I couldn't tell why."

Qiu Ju thought to herself, if I had known I shouldn't have taken those few, it was all my fault for thinking they were big and that they wouldn't be a big problem, but now they are completely out of luck. It seems that I really can't take any more from now on.

Yun Da sat at the dinner table without saying a word, listening to them talk, but he also felt that something was wrong with his wife.

According to the past, Qiu Ju should not have reacted like this when she heard such things, but from the beginning until now Qiu Ju has remained silent, not a single word.

Yun Da was very surprised. Could it be that his wife had changed? Otherwise, how could she have changed so much?

Hongmei also saw Qiuju's reaction in person.

The sister-in-law was very puzzled. Why didn't anyone react? Could it be that she did it? She had been going to the field every day recently, but there was no evidence.
